The intense fruitiness of this wine suggests rich sweetness, but it shows a surprisingly dry and aromatic finish. A delicate yellow color, tinged with the variety's typical "green-gold" hue, it bursts out of the glass with apricot, peach and spice aromas. As the wine matures, it can also display hints of jasmine, honeysuckle, kiwi, mint, orange blossom and even mango. While higher in alcohol than many white wines, it does drink well young. Lower acidity makes Viognier very food friendly, but its soft yet strong character also makes it excellent for sipping alone. Food parings: a wide range, including grilled chicken or fish, pasta with cream sauces, chowders, and spicy Asian noodle dishes.
